Yeah, I pre-ordered this only a few days ago on Wii U. The guy at EB said that the game isn't coming out today on Wii U, but that it would be soon according to their notifications, which for him translates into "within two weeks". I won't believe that it would be as far back as March 31st, that just sounds like a placeholder date.

this game will prob suck from the early reviews coming in and expect the same for the wii u version really sad i was looking forward to this o well at least theres new god of war for ps3 in march and gears of war for 360 plus luigis manison 3ds and castlevania 3ds this spring. The next great wii u game will prob be lego city undercover than pikmin 3

well look at it this way guys. the game zombiu had horrible reviews, and i mean horrible. but yet, most who tried it love the game. so what im saying is, dont buy a game based on a review. try it out yourself and then come to the conclusion on wether you like it or not.

Hopefully it comes out soon.

As the title suggests Alien Colonial Marines is getting some fairly terrible reviews.

Note that this is the PS3/360/PC version, the WiiU version won't come out to a little later which should hopefully fix up some of the issues.

Hahahaha!!!! Remember that WiiU fans were outraged that another studio was working on aliens for the wiiU port. Guess what, we might just be lucky with that one:

Well that sux. Time to look forward to September I guess...

Meh I'll probably still buy it since I doubt its so bad that its un-playable, I'm sure the multiplayer will still be decent.

I just read the IGN review and I'm not buying their horrible review. It would seem that the reviewers big complaint was the enemy A.I. was terrible, I can see that being a problem but the rest of it just seems like he was being too picky.

I've bought games that had horrible reviews and still loved them. Despite the reviews though I still think the Survival mode still sounds fun.

[scotty79]

The multiplayer isnt been made out too bad, but the rest of it seems to be horrible (read various reviews).

Thats a bummer, im totally into monster hunter, and with 4x the content of tri, 3g is going to keep me busy for a very, very, long time.

[Lupaie]

I am getting more and more excited for Monster Hunter. A new franchise to me so it is going to be a huge experience. At least I hope so.

Is this news? Anyone who had been following the development new it was mainly being developed by Timegate. Timegate themselves can create quality games (section 8 prejudice was fantastic), sadly they do not have the personnel for a AAA title and whilst I had hoped there continued expansion would be enough, they where clearly put in charge of a project they where not large enough to handle. Further evidence is that the game was delayed a year (a period in which they seemingly had a second dev come in and do work on the multiplayer and added characters from the film [something that didn't help the game at all]). Oddly enough despite all it's issues I think Iw ould really like the game had they made it more open like Section 8 prejudice and gave you reason to explore the world.

Personally I hope Timegate go back and do a third Section 8, personally I think a FTP model would work well.

Just as a question to those who thought Gearbox did the development (as apposed to hiring someone to do it for them), how do you think a 140 employee company could manage to do a game like Borderlands 2 and a follow up with another meant to be AAA release mere months later?

I just read the IGN review and I'm not buying their horrible review. It would seem that the reviewers big complaint was the enemy A.I. was terrible, I can see that being a problem but the rest of it just seems like he was being too picky.

Well I have had an Alien run up to me then mere moments before hitting me turn away and run and face a wall. The game starts of terribly and has improved a little bit. But the AI is stupid, the graphics are dated, the stories only plus so far is the homages it provides, the gameplay is average at best, the content is limited (almost finished the campaign in 3 to 4 hours) and the level design, by god is it awefull at times. The few things it does well are few in numbers.

There is an interesting article on IGN , an ex gearbox employee said the development was a train wreck that took almost 6 years. He says Gearbox only developed multiplayer. Apparently 3 different studios with less than stellar pasts were outsourced to do the rest.
